Very accurate to listing. Property was perfect for my birthday weekend with my boyfriend and dogs. Beautiful views even in snowy weather. Lisa is AMAZING!!! We had a small accident and she replied and came to help very quickly!!! Could not have asked for a better weekend! Town of Wellsville is beautiful as well.
It was just a describe. Quiet, peaceful and the cabin was cute and cozy wonderful view. We had a fantastic time sledding and playing in the snow. The host was awesome we got into town late and she made sure the lights weren’t on for us also made sure the drive way was plowed for accessibility. Thank you

This gem of a cottage has absolutely stunning views. We booked our stay during a new moon in hopes of seeing the Milky Way at night. Unfortunately, it rained. Thankfully the cottage is 10 minutes from Wellsville so we had a good evening there and a warm, cozy place to spend the night. The bed was very comfortable. Even though it is five hours from our home, we hope to return when the weather is conducive for stargazing.
The property and cabin are beautiful and well maintained. The view of the night sky and sunrise is massive and wide open. The grounds are quiet and peaceful. Plenty of room for the dogs to run, comfy deck and furniture, great tv, nice, hot water, great fire pit and pond!
Was looking for a relaxing place where I could decompress after a stressful project for work and we very satisfied with this property. Great view off the back deck for stargazing or to spot the several deer, hummingbirds, groundhogs, etc that visit that open space from time to time. Excellent kitchen equipment. Very easy to communicate with the owner. A little dusty in a few corners, but certainly cleaner than most of the cottage/cabin vacation spots that I've frequented in the past. Strongly recommend if you need a break and a change of scenery.
Cozy cabin with beautiful views. Enjoyed the wildlife daily, and the host was amazing and very helpful. Nice quiet serene get away for relaxing away from the rat race.
Wonderful stay for a long weekend with 2 senior dogs with a lot of space to roam. With deep appreciation Marilyn,
for sharing the stunning views, very comfy and cozy accommodations stocked with everything I needed. Top of my "visit" again list for sure!
The cottage was very quiet. The view was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the deer in the field in the morning and evening. Wellsville is only 12 minutes away so we could still make a quick trip into town if needed. We would definitely like to come back in the future.
Stargazer is completely as advertised - cozy, comfortable, clean and celestial viewing is on par with some of the best places we've ever traveled. The amenities were above our expectations, so well stocked we needn't have packed many of the items we did. The seclusion brings a variety of wildlife for viewing from the back deck or from the large windowed rooms (including the bedroom). We went for the stargazing and watching the Perseid Meteor showers. Even with some weather challenges - we saw meteors on both nights we stayed (and sooo many satellites). The one instance we had to contact staff, we received a prompt and appropriate response. We had no real complaints (a few minor "wish this or that") - yet nothing that made our experience wish we had not booked and certainly enough plusses that we plan on booking again.
What a perfect place. Secluded, beautiful and cozy. Tucked away from everything. Only you and nature all around. We enjoyed everything about it. Shopping is only about a 15 minute drive, so not too far away, but far enough. The owner is very sweet and quick to respond and is helpful. Look forward to going back and would recommend to anyone who needs to regroup from the craziness of city life.
Wanted to see stars and although the first night was cloudy, the second night delivered quite a show including a meteor sighting. Hosts were pleasant and responsive. They really want to provide their guest a private and pleasant stay.
The cabin was clean and exceptionally well stocked. The bed was very comfortable. A few things in the cabin could use a little TLC but did not influence our stay. Saw wild turkey and many deer. The deck provided great scenery and peace.
The place was very clean and comfy there were just a couple of issues with the place the lack of a second tv in the bedroom,the telescope for the stargazing didn’t work witch was a huge disappointment and the finding of pet and or people ashes in what appeared to be boxes was disturbing but my over all rating would be a 4 out of 5 stars
Nestled back from the road on top of the hill, this cabin was perfect for the peace & tranquility I sought. Stargazer has a welcoming, homey feel & is equipped with all of your essentials and then some. Special features such as a wood burning stove, glass windows over looking the deck, wooded landscape & a telescope to enjoy the night sky are a few highlights. The bed had a cozy mattress, with plenty of extra linen, there are two bathrooms, & the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials. The town is a quaint throwback with little diners & antique shops should you decide to explore. More than any of this though , the owner & her property manager are so kind, accommodating & responsive. Will definitely be back!!!
All the reviews are accurate, the pictures are as well. My husband and I stayed for our anniversary Oct 8-15. The Star Gazer was the perfect size for us. The cottage was clean, well stocked with towels, linens, and kitchen necessities. I thought the bed and pillows were very comfortable.
I used the walking trails every day, and enjoyed the deck for sunrise every morning. There's chickens on property, but saw many deer everyday, and a fox on two days. The whole experience was relaxing and beautiful.
Great place for a couple to stay! Comfy cabin with a gorgeous view that can't be beat----of mountains, pond, and local wildlife. Bed not too hard and not too soft. Friendly chickens and a lovely silver maple next door. Kitchen stocked with small appliances and nice stove. One and a half baths. Close to hiking and all kinds of outdoor adventures. Excellent communication with property owner. Definitely recommend.

The property was excellent! Very comfortable and relaxing. The Beef Haus in Wellsville is a great local restaurant, but the barbecue grill on the back porch was an excellent way to enjoy some good food as well.
Everything was wonderful. A relaxing getaway. Enjoyed the chickens and roosters, too! Would love to know specifically the brand/details of the sheets used. I NEED to buy the same for myself...best sleep ever!
We had a wonderful time at the cabin. The location is peaceful and the view phenomenal. Our host Marilyn responded quickly to all our questions and check in was easy. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for peace and quiet (the roosters did start early but they didn’t really bother us). Thank you so much!
We really enjoyed staying at this property. It’s perfect for a little get away for 2! We have family in the area and we’re happy to find a nice place to stay!

What makes this property unique
If you are a nature lover this cottage is for you. 6 miles of private trails are easily accessible from the cottage. Abundance of wildlife and mature forest. The view is phenomenal day and night. The dark skies is a plus for stargazing. A great place for working from home/vacation
